Acts 8:36 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 8:36

34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?”

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, ^aand beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him.

36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. ^aWhat hinders me from being baptized?”

37 Then Philip said, ^a“If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, ^b“I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

And the eunuch answered, I pray thee, etc.—The respect with which he here addresses Philip was prompted by his reverence for one whom he perceived to be his superior in divine things; his own worldly position sinking before this.
